Bizzaro Right Triangles

Okay, we all know that, if you have a right triangle with sides a and b and hypotenuse c, that means a^2 + b^2 = c^2, right?

So you can have 3-4-5 right triangles, and 5-12-13, and 7-24-25, etc.

And technically, a 1-i-0 right triangle follows this pattern, too, which has made the rounds in the math meme community.

But I found something better and weirder. I found a whole family of better and weirder.

I'm gonna skip a bit of the beginning and start here:

cos x = (e^ix + e^-ix) / 2

That follows from Euler's formula; if you need a walkthrough, I can provide, but I want to start with the above. So then, it follows that:

cos (i*lnx) = (x + 1/x)/2 = (x^2 + 1)/2x

Which means that an angle of (i*lnx) radians in a right triangle will have an adjacent side of (x^2 + 1) and a hypotenuse of 2x. By Pythagoras, then, the opposite side must be (x^2 - 1)*i.

But please note: if x is odd, then the lengths of all three sides will be even, and thus can be divided by 2.

Which means -- are you holding onto your hats and shoes?!? -- means that the proportions of the right triangle with angle i*ln(3) radians... are 5-4i-3.

And for i*ln(5) radians, they are 13-12i-5.

And so forth, with all the familiar Pythagorean triplets sqrt(2n+1)-n-(n+1) showing up, just with one side imaginary and the hypotenuse and remaining side swapped -- so, (n+1)-n*i-sqrt(2n+1). They still fulfill Pythagoras, every single one.

Which I think is, pardon my directness, fucking terrific. But just as a little bonus, please note that this means the triangle with angle i*ln(2) radians, the proportions are 5-3i-4, which is just delightful IMHO.

Weird 2003 mansion is pricey just b/c it's in the tony Hamptons. (You know: "Where do you summer?" "Why, in the Hamptons, Darling.") It's in Southampton, NY, has 4bds, 4ba, and is listed for $2.8M.

It has a glass block tower and a moat. Don't know what's going on with the stairs.

A short night greets you and there's an odd rail with a chaise in the glass tower.

A large living room with a view of the dining room and kitchen. I like the fireplace.

The kitchen is okay, not my taste, but it's okay. I like the rounded counter.

The formal dining next to the kitchen. But, there's a less formal option of sitting at the counter.

The stairs are in the glass block tower. A knight keeps watch at the window on the landing. There's another railing and place to sit in the tower.

Here's a fancy bathroom. 1 of 4.

The lackluster primary bedroom has a fireplace that looks like a mantle placed over a fireplace insert.

The en-suite has a glass block shower.

Smaller secondary bedroom.

I'm confused. There's a full kitchen and a bath. This must be on the ground floor.

Small family opens to a patio.

Every mansion has to have a home spa, even if they have to squeeze it in somewhere.

Patio next to the pool.

Look like a little guest cottage by the pool.

This pretty. Note the big turtle sculpture on the left.

Look at all the paths around the property. You can go on a hike. The property is 6 acres.

Path leading to the house.

The 4 car garage has a 2n floor. This is all they show of it.

I'm a creator for the Rhythm Doctor Sight Reading Tournament 3 (RDSRT3), and I made the level "For The Goat" by one of our wonderful in house musicians, 3xp0 (song link)

I'm very proud of it, and I'm excited to share it with you all.

You can find this level, and many other great levels at rhythm cafe and the Rhythm Doctor Lounge discord, and future RDSRT3 streams (and VODs) on the Rhythm Doctor Lounge youtube channel.

Super rambley levelmaker commentary and other wacky stuff below the cut

So this was originally going to be a story driven level. I some dialogue planned but i didn't like how it sounded and no one else was particularly interested in helping me write

The general story was as following: Cole would be telling Hailey (who's doing an interview for school) about a friend of his that he met on an old music production forum he frequented when he was younger. They were this niche internet microcelebrity called ballfart2001. They became friends, and generally just hung out and whatnot. At some point though, Cole would do some shit that pissed ballfart off, and they stopped talking to each other. At the end, there was originally going to be rank text, being a message that ballfart sent to Cole before the messageboard went down. If you did well, it would be the two exchanging discords so they could keep in contact, and if you did poorly, it would be ballfart telling Cole off, or even blocking him.

Now for what's actually in the level, starting with ballfart themself.

I worked hard ballfart's custom character (raw sprites below). Their neutral and missed expression are based on (new) Cole's neutral and barely sprites. I was trying to give the implication that these mannerisms of ballfart rubbed off on him (though i realize it may have been a bit subtle). I designed their outfit to be simple, but "cool" (but also like. a bit slobbish (they're wearing sweatpants and a half tucked shirt for fucks sake))

Now the vfx part.

Depending on how familiar you may be with rd, you may be familiar with the kaleidoscope from 2-2, 2-2n, and 2-x. You may also have noticed that I have something similar in the level, but it's a different color, a different amount of divisions, etcetera. These are done through custom methods, an advanced technique which allows you to do a lot of really cool stuff. Most of the custom methods I used for this (kaleidoscope roll, offset, repeat, symmetry, and color iirc) were released relatively recently (aside from the colors, that method has existed for ages). IN FACT, this level was created BEFORE those custom methods were released, I added kaleidoscope specifically so I could use them (because they're awesome)

Anyways the rest of the vfx yeah fuck. The custom hitstrip was added because I thought it looked cool. ditto... most of it really.

Now, for the gameplay. Act 5 had recently released, this song was unveiled to the rdsrt levelmakers as a priority song, and while listening to it, I noticed that sometimes there would be a second snare, but earlier then the regular snare. And I thought "oh dope kinda like subdivision beats. but like reverse". (Normal subdivision beats require you to hit after the snare). That's where the whole gimmick came from, and the rest of the charting sorta stemmed from trying to compliment that and fit the song as best as possible.

FINALLY, we can get to the notorious ballfart incident.

So for clarity, since I removed the dialogue, no one would normally know that that character is named "ballfart" unless they heard it from me or went inside the level folder.

HOWEVER.

I did something really stupid.

I left the placeholder thumbnail in.

[judasjurgen-blog]

I won a game of Battletech today! Inner Sphere vs. Clans, except the Clanners had 4/5 skills instead of 3/4 for long-term balance reasons. It's a campaign setup.

Anyway: I brought the contents of an Inner Sphere Heavy Battle Lance box because I didn't think I'd get a game and threw something together at the last minute.

IS LANCE:

Bushwacker -X1 (standard do-anything skirmisher)

Axman -2N (missile boat with an axe!)

Cataphract -3D (brawler with lots of little guns)

Nightstar -9FC (fast assault mech with halfway decent guns)

My opponent *had* brought something with a plan: light mechs, with a lot of speed and firepower. Strikers galore.

CLAN STAR:

Hermes -1Sb (fast as fuck, boiii)

Locust IIC Standard ("You're too slow!")

Dasher (Fire Moth) Prime (LIVE AND LEARN)

Uller (Kit Fox) A (snoipah tf2)

Puma (Adder) E ("I'm here to ask you one question: EXPLOSIONS!?")

We used the Instant Action rules from @blackboxfaxes, version 3. Mission was selected with a d66 roll instead of by player choice (rerolling 6s of course). We got "Death Before Dishonour" and rolled again to see who would be who after we realised that not choosing it kinda stuffs things up. He got Confront, I got Destroy: he has to escape the map with an objective, I've gotta stop him scoring a try.

1st turn, after the deployment rules were sorted out, I put my Bushwacker and Axman behind the lines because they had the LRMs and let him advance away from me. His Dasher and Hermes moved up the centre as fast as they could, between two groups of woods that'd block line of sight from either side of them. One of them was carrying the objective, it was obvious. Meanwhile the Locust and Uller held the left flank in the exact centre of the map. (Remember that, it'll be important.) The Puma moved up to support them, though not close enough to be in formation.

My mechs followed behind, the Axman jumping from hill to hill while my jetless Bushwacker ran over the shallower hills like hurdles, trying to keep close with MASC-equipped light Clan mechs. After that: "Death Before Dishonour" lets the Destroy player (me) bring on half his units up to halfway along the sides of the map during turn 1. I brought my Cataphract up one side, running as fast as he could to keep the Hermes & Dasher in his sights while on the other side, the Nightstar strutted up directly behind the Locust and Uller, who had fell victim to one of the classic blunders: leaving their rear arcs exposed to a hex right on the edge of the map when an assault mech hasn't deployed yet!

(That Bushwacker is a proxy for the Uller.)

This is when the Confront player is supposed to reveal which of his mechs is holding the objective. It was the Hermes.

The Axman and Bushwacker were out of range of (read: couldn't overcome the movement modifiers of) my real target: the Hermes (see above re: Clan MASC) so they had to settle for the Puma. They didn't do much. In fact, they missed. The Nightstar did a little better: it shot up the Dasher with its LB 10-X's, lazerbeamed the Uller's armour to slag and kicked its leg off so hard it destroyed the side torso, all while soaking up return fire from the Locust & Puma. MVP goes to the Cataphract, though: it shot the Hermes in the back with its lasers and Ultra AC/5, exposing its delicious, vulnerable, crittable, Inner-Sphere-spec XL engine to an LB 10-X cluster round. 3 crit rolls resulted in a 5, a 3 and a 12. All 3 of the crits on the 12 went to the aforementioned engine. Down went the Hermes, and the objective it held.

That's when things started to devolve from a chase to a scrum.

My Cataphract walked out of the woods onto the objective, ready to smash it. My Nightstar moved closer, ready to provide supporting fire. My Axman and Bushwacker jumped and ran as fast as they could, ready to miss every shot because they'd need boxcars to hit. The Clanners all moved to target the Cataphract, including the Locust right in its rear arc, with the exceptions of the Uller and Puma, who decided to lie back, take it easy and poke the Nightstar instead.

All those shots did some work, because that Cataphract fell over. Small lasers *hurt* when there's 8 of them. It didn't lose any limbs, but it did lose its rear armour and its dignity. At least it got to shoot first, and it did manage to do *some* damage, just not enough to repeat the roaring success of the last turn. The lasers & UAC/5 went to internals on the Dasher, but it seemed all our luck with crits had run out after that spectacular turn 1 engine-kill. And I do mean "our" - the other guy got no crits on either the Cataphract or the Nightstar for the rest of the game. (Wait, scratch that, I did break the Dasher's MASC. Not great, but, y'know it's something.) The Nightstar and Bushwacker shot as well, and they... did you know the Locust IIC has *exactly* 10 points of armour on its legs and torsos? -_- I won't even speak of the Axman. 4/6/4 doesn't close the distance with light mechs.

Anyway, with the Cataphract down, the objective was in play again. Mr. Nightstar decided to put a stop to that. The Dasher and Puma responded by sticking to him like barnacles while the Cataphract picked itself up. Meanwhile, the Bushwacker and Axman continued their steady advance, only for that Locust to zip around behind them and into the Axman's rear.

The Dasher and Puma failed to kill the Nightstar, and oh how they tried! They did everything short of kicking it to make it fall over! It helps that the Puma missed with both its ATMs. I guess bank security isn't good enough when mechs are in play, har har. Anyway, my own mechs blasted the Dasher to the shadow realm and my Axman was preparing to show the unfortunate Locust an axcellent time when the other guy called it there on account of not having a way to stop the Nightstar.

That was good fun. I *will* play these mechs again, of that you can be certain.

Hello! I can try to help, but this is a pretty complicated question - this is somewhat advanced pattern writing. To go in order, here's a few answers:

The 2+1 pattern instruction is not really important to you if you can read the chart. It's saying that the length of the chart is (2N)+1, which out of math writing is "2 stitches repeated over and over, then 1 more stitch."

"Knit 1 in row below" is a pattern stitch that you just have to look up if the pattern doesn't give a tutorial. Ironically, in this case it's very literal: rather than knitting the stitch on the needle, knit the stitch in the fabric below that. Here's a link to a teacher I like: text tutorial: https://nimble-needles.com/stitches/how-to-knit-one-below/ video tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ITn1tvdNz8

Is this knit flat or in the round? That will change how you interpret the pattern. If it helps, all knitting charts start in the lower right corner and show you what the piece looks like from the front, not exactly what you are knitting. This means that if you are looking at a chart that says knit, but you're knitting from the back of the fabric, you need to purl instead. I know this is a "for dummies," but it might help. https://www.dummies.com/article/home-auto-hobbies/crafts/knitting-crocheting/how-to-read-knitting-charts-in-the-round-170898/

So, now in plain words, here's how I would tell you to read this pattern if it is knitted flat:

knit 1 row

knit 1 stitch, purl until you have 1 stitch left, knit the last stitch

Now we start the pattern: knit 1 stitch, then do this: (knit one stitch, knit one stitch into the row below) and repeat that until you have only one stitch left. Knit the last stitch.

knit 1 stitch, purl until you have 1 stitch left, knit the last stitch.

knit 1 stitch, then do this: (knit one stitch into the row below, knit one stitch) and repeat until you only have one stitch left. Knit the last stitch.

knit 1 stitch, purl until you have 1 stitch left, knit the last stitch.

From here on out, ignore instructions 1 and 2 that I wrote. Repeat the steps 3-6 (3, 4,5, 6, 3, 4, 5, 6...) over and over until you have the length of fabric you want.

Finally, when you have the length of fabric you want, end when you finish an even-numbered row, that is, one of the rows where you don't do the "knit one below."

Knitters of Tumblr, lend me thine eyes (and knitting pattern translation skills pls)

I am struggling to understand what this pattern is asking me to do. My next step is this:

To guide me in what the chart pattern is, I have been given these two further descriptions:

But I can't currently work out what they mean. As in, in practical terms, what should I be doing over the next several rows until I have 28 cm of this? I know that I need to start and end the right side with a vanilla common or garden knit stitch, but I can't work out, for example, what "Multiple of 2 + 1" means in the description, nor what "knit 1 in a stitch 1 row below" on the diagram, and I can't yet fathom the repetitions in the diagram either.

Can anyone help? If it makes it easier, let's say there are 35 stitches per row - so the two on the outside need to be knot stitches, and then the other 33 need to follow the chart pattern

Thank you for your wisdom, oh great transformers of string into cloth

One of my pet peeves is when people define a majority badly.

A majority is simply over half of the population (for varying definitions of "population"). If the entire population is p, majority is more than p/2

"Half plus one" isn't the definition of majority. At any odd number of population, let n be so that: 2n+1=p. Half of 2n+1 is n+1/2. n+1 is larger than n+1/2 and thus p/2. p/2+1=n+1/2+1 or n+3/2. n+1 is less than n+3/2, so the definition of "half plus one" excludes an actual case of majority.

"at least 51%" isn't a majority. If you're not rounding the percentage, it fails as early as 26 out of 51 (50.980%). Even if you do round, odd numbers above 100 people and evens of at least 202 people can have majorities that drop below 51% with rounding.
